Well, i do need a general solution, I was just using notepad as a test
case... So it's definitely good for me to know about this - thanks!
But i wonder, isnt there some kind of an "upstream" event, that could
be generated and then would automatically generate and propagate all
of the keydown, char, and keyup events, so i do not have to worry
about sending all three?
You might investigate MapVirtualKey, keybd_event, and SendInput. I have no clue whether these are exposed in the Python Win32 extensions. Overall, I would guess the three-message parlay is the lowest-impact method.
also, as to roel's earlier post... could I please have some help on how to generate a bit field in python, in order to send a well-formed lParam to SendMessage, and thus create a well-formed WM_KEYUP/KEYDOWN event?
Python supports C expressions; you just build it by hand:
bits = 0x8000000 | 0x00030000 | vkKey
Or, if you prefer the bit numbers explicitly:
bits = (2 << 30) | (3 << 16) | vkKey
